MERRY LITTLE MOTLEY 🏠✨

Paint Your Own Light-Up Christmas House

Paint a house. Build a village. ✨🏠

There's something magical about a little Christmas house glowing in the window.

This December, join us at Motley Manchester for a festive creative evening where you'll paint your very own ceramic light-up Christmas house.

Choose your colours, add your own personality and bring your little house to life.

And here's our favourite part...

At the end of the evening, we'll bring everyone's creations together to make our very own Merry Little Motley Christmas Village.

Imagine 30 glowing houses, all completely different, creating one magical Christmas moment.

Then you get to take yours home.
